Gaviscon Liquid is an opaque, pink oral suspension with an aniseed (fennel) flavour. Each 10ml oral suspension contains 500mg Sodium Alginate, 267mg Sodium Bicarbonate and 160mg Calcium Carbonate.
This medicine is used for the treatment of symptoms of gastro-oesophageal reflux such as acid regurgitation, heartburn and indigestion (related to reflux), for example, following meals, or during pregnancy, or in patients with symptoms related to reflux oesophagitis.
It works in 2 ways: a combination of two antacids to neutralise excess stomach acid, and an alginate which forms a protective layer that floats on top of the stomach contents, keeping it away from the lining of the food pipe.
Gaviscon Liquid Aniseed Flavour contains Sodium Alginate, Sodium Bicarbonate and Calcium Carbonate for heartburn and indigestion.
